“The Reds are currently third in the table and can cement their place in next season’s Champions League by beating Chelsea today.”

And according to Don Balon, a Spanish outlet famous for its outlandish transfer claims, Salah has demanded the No.11 shirt.

The number is currently occupied by Bale but even if he does not move to Liverpool, the 28-year-old is expected to leave the Bernabeu this summer, with Tottenham and Manchester United keen to sign him.

Salah also wants to be paid as much as Real superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.

Jurgen Klopp will be desperate to hang on to his talisman as he looks to mount a serious Premier League title challenge next season.
